How much is around the world travel by car. Tract for adventure from childhood

Walking around the world, we ride Sunday morning on September 27, 1898, Riga Streets were extremely revived - the cries of "Hurray" were heard, universal education reigned. So Riga met its citizen Konstantin Rengarten, who ended the world's walking trip. Under

Fly around the world? The idea of \u200b\u200bsuperdult non-foal flights was born in the 30s. As we said, the crews of M.M., Gromov and other Soviet pilots flew from Moscow to the Far East, through the North Pole to America ... And our famous pilot V.P. Chkalov dreamed even

The journey around the world In 1803-1806, the first Russian round-the-world expedition took place, which was led by the navigator, Admiral, honorary member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences Ivan Fedorovich Kruzenshtern. During his stay in China, Kruzenshtern became interested

Alexander and Tatiana Chemodurov - the first Russian pensioners who have committed a world tour of the car.

Today they are for two 113 years. The first time abroad was in 2001 - by chance. To the wedding, his son gave a tour to Egypt, could not go to go, the suites flew into Africa instead. Just so that the tickets do not disappear.

Liked. And so much that in the 13th subsequent years traveled Polimyr. As if anticipating the collapse of travel agencies, pensioners last years wisely concerned the world alone.

With the cargo strokes, they visited 102 countries of the world.

Tanya Plus Tanya

The army of suitcuris with the help of the Russian geographical society was laid like this: from Moscow through Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey to Africa. Syria had to go around the ferry: the war raged there. Further through Africa in South Africa, from there - to Argentina (the car - the sea, on the aircraft). Throughout South America - in the United States, from Seattle by a ship in Nakhodka, and through the whole country back, to Moscow.

In Egypt, the car had to receive local numbers, such laws there. Then we went to the pyramids. Unusually empty, tourists Egypt left.

I sent Tatiana to buy tickets, and I drove into the parking lot, "says Sodomurov. - Police requires showing documents. Long learns the paper that I overturned with such difficulty (and they do not understand what is written there), suspiciously looking at me and ask a murderous question: "And Tatyana is that a male name?" Everything, I think, got, the officials were frightened by writing his wife to his wife. The bureaucracy there is terrible, now they will detain the car. Need to get out. I go to hell: "Yes, of course, the male is a name!" Policemen are fucking catch, and so incredulous: "And what are you, among the Russians, then female names?" I am: "Natasha!"

Universal education: "Natasha! Right! Natasha! Pass, Tatyana!"

Before the trip they read that the riots only in Cairo. It turned out that the war was already moving to the center of the country. I had to hide for a long time in Egypt, circling the troubled provinces.

They got to Aswan, from there - in Sudan. Egypt with Sudan there is controversial territories, so the border was allowed to cross on the ship. The cabin was not, spent the night right on the deck, under the stars. The car was taken in a couple of days on the barge.

In Sudan, none of three auto navigators worked. We rode, asking the road at the local. There are no tourists there, and hotels in our understanding too. Stayed in the boring yard for Dervysh, exotics there through the edge.

Putin, automatic and chocolate

The most interesting country on the route is Ethiopia. True, only in the sense of cultural heritage. But there are no roads there: per day hardly passed 300 km. Sometimes I had to mobilize the local population for tavering the stones from the road. Pierced one wheel.

In Kenya, they were not allowed for a long time. There began the war on the border: some tribal disassembly. Rushes helicopters, artillery cannonade, explosions.

Every day we went to the police, asked to highlight the armed convoy. Three days later they were told: go alone, but only very quickly: the front arose on the front. Ranged ...

There was an unpleasant moment: a man with a gun saw on the side of the sidelines. With fear, Alexander Anatolyevich led Gaza, the armed was disappeared in the cloud of dust and rubble from under the wheels. He shot them by their car or not - did not see.

But observed on the road of the cozovoy burned cars.

Ahead of them "Renge Rover" was driving with Japanese tourists. Which suddenly disappeared. Ours were interested in posts: the Japanese driven? It turned out - no. But they had nowhere to turn. The story is sad, find out the fate of Japanese travelers failed.

Medicines took a lot on the road, but almost everyone was taken away in Bulgaria. Ukrainians took the electric shock. In Africa, all alcohol selected the Sudanese. Often, at the entrance to the village they were stopped by people with automata. Presented "customs", were interested in: there are products? Usually answered - yes, there is, but only bananas. In response, the requirement was heard: "Let us give us our bananas, these cannot be pronounced - buy ours."

There are bananas, however, there is a darling penny, the racket is frozen.

Positive memories are left more.

In general, in Africa can be traveling on public transport- Alexander Anatolyevich intriguits. - You take a ticket, you sit on a bus in Cairo and go out in Cape Town. Many Europeans do this.

But there are no buses yet. And in Africa, everyone is fighting with everyone, and through the areas of hostilities cars are missing, and there are no buses. And while the battles do not subscribe to the passengers "sunbathe."

Picked up two such horses: Englishman and Dane. We drove with them to Nairobi.

What is interesting: in Kenya on the roads a lot of locations, but seeing Russian passports, the military smiled and missed without inspection: "Oh, Putin, Kalashnikov, Chocolate!" Why they are convinced that chocolate do in Russia, not quite clear, but Kalashnikov and Putin in Africa are very popular.

On the travelers, it made a strong impression. Three days, saying goodbye, the Englishman and Dane admitted that they sincerely envy Chetdeor: "It's so cool - to be Russian in Africa!"

Pick up

Having traveled 30 countries, five times paid fines. Of these, 3 - in Tanzania: solid ambushes.

A sign of 50 km / h, we go 45. Stop. What did we violate? - hotness is hot. - Fucking: you drove at a speed of 62 km / h, here is the radar data. But on the radar is not my car! And we have five witnesses, pay a fine - $ 7.

And so in every village.

I ask about around the spirits: Are you explained with the African traffic police in what language?

On universal: driver. There was a case in Turkey, I stop for exceeding. A policeman says: "Here you can 90 km / h, you have 106 - fine. Do you need a receipt?" - "No, let's fine in half."

I paid it, I return to the car, the wife looks at me amazed: And you, says, with him in what language did you talk about? I am in Russian, he is with me - in Turkish. Excellent understood each other.

The most funny incident is in Zambia. Stopped, they say that your car does not match the safety rules - no reflectors, that is, reflective stickers. $ 20 give and not sin.

And this is despite the fact that local at all without headlights and without glasses go.

But at the same time in Africa there is a good tradition. If you go slowly and collected more than two cars behind yourself - stop, miss. You will not miss - the police will stop, finally. It would be worth it to be taken.

Dancing with globe

In Peru is not lucky. At night, Lama was shot down in the mountains. Not to death, the animal ran away. The car suffered: drifting radiator, three weeks waited for repair. Police reacted very benevolently to the incident: they did not finish. There these lamas, like Donov Pedro in neighboring Brazil.

Faced with a completely unexpected problem. Local, it and case blocked the road, requiring some social benefits from the government and lower prices. Money with passing does not extort, just do not let all. Police do not interfere.

Easy things in Bolivia. If the road is overlapped by men, then it is easy to solve the problem: you will give a bottle - let go.

But the Bolivian señoras - those fundamental, offenses do not take, - sighs of sodides. - There had to look for other ways. I got a globe from the car (he always had with me), explained from where the food. Wife called it "dancing with a globe."

I started like this: "Dear women of the East, do you know and respect Russia? Look at the globe: here it is. And we are now at the other end of the world. We need to drive to return home!"

Are they the women of the East?

And what's the difference, they do not understand the words in Russian. Like me in Spanish. The main thing here is to create an atmosphere, ideally - to laugh. If the globe did not help, then the world took the tent from the trunk, threatened: we will spend the night with you, but we have no food, you will feed you.

Acted.

True, through a kilometer - a new picket. And again dancing with a globe.

Exhausting, immediately looking for a motel. One particularly liked: very elegant, the number is all in the mirrors, even on the ceiling and then why the mirror. And inexpensive.

Then they suspected a nonlado. Number they were offered for several hours. Explained: Night need at least.

Everyone who was at the reception fell respectfully ...

Later they found out that they live in the hotel for love dates: almost brothel. Laughed to tears.

America: Forward, in the past

Complete surprise - the border between Mexico and the United States. Ciudad Juarez went on the highway - Karlsbad - Roswell. At the entrance from the Mexican side, beautiful well-groomed fields were struck, ranch, Handshed Handsome Macho. Cities are clean, the people are elegant. We drove into America - the fields abandoned, some non-zero farmhouses.

In the cinema, the opposite.

But the biggest shock is the border. We expected to see the crowds of Mexicans, American Rangers with automata. Nothing like this. Empty. Two women stand: Mexican and African American. They saw the Russian numbers, were amazed, but even from the car did not come out.

Somodurov:

We drove 30 countries, after all, it's like: Go out of the car, open the trunk, show what you are lucky ... Here they just knocked the hammer on the wheels (there are often drugs in the tires) - Drive.

We say: "Yes, how to pass, you first put the mark in the passport." They dismissed, advised themselves to search for an officer of the immigration service: maybe he will put a stamp. Found somehow convinced - put.

Walking returned to Mexico. But there, they also refused insurance too: they say that in Mexico we give insurance only to Mexican cars.

What to do, again walking in the US ...

Interestingly, during walks from the United States to Mexico, no one paid attention and passports did not ask.

In general, America left an ambiguous impression, "Alexander Anatolyevich argues. - At the gas stations and in the shops, the people, having learned that we from Russia, I began to say nasty about your president and admire Russia. I am not kidding. But - quietly, as if sneaking. So we were in the 60s, in the USSR, when the rulers spoke bad and whisper. I did not expect such from Americans, some of them are compacted, intimidated. I expected to see proud and free.

And in the Arizona National Park, the bear approached our car and put his paws on the trunk. By the way, driving from Vladivostok to Moscow, not a single Kosolapoy met. Here they are, stereotypes: so you need to still figure out, who in fact, in the streets of the bears roam.

Alexander Anatolyevich Sakhomodurov - retired left the head of the Department of Minculture. His wife Tatyana Anatolyevna graduated from MSTU. Bauman, individual entrepreneur. In total, spouses behind the shoulders of 27 foreign and six Russian autocouples. Want to write about them a book. During the Armenia, a public expertise of UNESCO facilities met with compatriots and helped create children's libraries.

Route:

we visited Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Salvador , Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico and the USA.

Question price

We drove on Earth 53,700 km and 17 thousand km by the sea. Sponsors did not find, went for their own. It cost 1.85 million rubles.

Million on a dream trip accumulated. The remaining amount was mined by passing the apartment, the country and the garage in the suburbs.

We went by hyundai crossover Tucson 2007 release. Mileage at the time of the beginning of the army of 52 thousand km. Specially did not prepare the car, but every 15 thousand km was held, as it should be, then: in Cape Town (South Africa), in Lima (Peru) and on the way back in Russia.

Around the light by car

Preface

After in the rafting (alloy on mountain rivers), I did everything that can be signed somehow to formalize (alloy from all the eighties and the highest peaks of all continents, the ratio of the first time in China from the two highest peaks of the world - Everest and Choiri, The descent on the mining sources of the two greatest rivers of the world - Amazon and Nile, finally, I installed a record of alloy highlight - 5600 m, I pulled me to other types of expeditions. First of all, we were talking, of course, about the world tour. But what is the way of movement choose? Walking? No, it will take a lifetime. By bike? In principle, for me it is an acceptable option (being a student, I was seriously engaged in cycling on the highway, my record is 270 km in one day), but still long (if To do the real army, then on this in the absence of great financial support leaves five years). There was a travel option by car. It seemed most attractive yet because none of Russia (and the Soviet Union) Before that, the autocrucks did not perform (although it managed to make people from other countries). Naturally, I wanted to go through an unusual route, for which no one has ever traveled. In addition, I drew attention to the fact that in the previously perfect army points of the beginning and end of the path in different continents were arbitrary, not formalized. Therefore, I decided to drive across all the continents between the extreme dots in the direction in which these continents are elongated, that is, to cross both American mainland from the northern outskirts itself North America to the southernmost point of South America (naturally, where can be reached by car), cross Africa from the southernmost point to the most northern, Eurasia - from the most western to the easternmost (from available on passenger car), And Australia is from the easternmost to the most western (either at all go round it around the perimeter).

And I aggressively started the implementation of my project.

Through america.

September 25, 1997 in the evening (at 18 o'clock) we flew from Khabarovsk to Anchorage (Alaska), where they flew in less than 5 hours at 4 am ... The same September 25 - the intersection of the daily belt (the time difference between Anchorage and Khabarovsk 5 hours minus day). Having waited at the airport to 7 hours, went to a well-known to me (according to the previous visit to Alaska in July-August 1993, when we, together with Vladimir Kuznetsov, were planted on the Mac-Kinley and Kantishna rivers in Denali National Park) Anchorage International Youth Hostel at N -700. Here and housed.

We are me, Boris Ivanov and Vladimir Polevatin. To us (and at the North American part of the expedition, three days later, Andrei Ponomarev should have joined us) was to make a trans-American journey by car from Alaska (North America) to Argentina (South of South America) with a river alloy in Canada, USA (in the big Canyon Colorado) and South America. Sponsors of this expedition made the newspaper Novosibirsk News, Zyryanovsky branch of Kuzbassobank and Ekvi (Moscow) with visa support for the Moscow Travel Economy "Exotur" (and personal assistance to Alexander Andrievsky).

Because of the limit of finance, we could buy a car no more than $ 2,500. Bypassing a number of shops selling used cars, there were three Ford (from 2 to 2.5 thousand dollars each) and "Volvo-240 for 2500). One of the "Fords" was a pick-up with a large interior, wide seats and a sleeping place. The car is gorgeous, but it would be very big, it would be difficult to move through the streets with intense traffic and, most importantly, by narrow mountain roads. The rest of the "Fords" (for 2 and 2.2 thousand dollars) were "worn" enough, but "Volvo" looked like a new one (although it was 1986 and raided 300,000 km). In the end, we stopped on it.

Through the seller's company issued a purchase (another 200 dollars took it), Lahabii insurance (in case of damage by us, someone else's car, such insurance in the United States is obligatory, she "pulled" by $ 600), and the next day we became the owners of "Volvo-240" with the Alaskan number CZS 779. As a warm-up went to Anchor Point and returned back.

So, in the evening of September 26, we were ready to start a trip, but Andrei was supposed to fly into Anchorage only two days later. In order not to waste time, they first decided to threatened to go to the village of Dadhors (dead horse) on the shore of Pradhu Bay Bay, the northernmost point of Alaska, where you can get by car. A few years ago, access to this terrain was limited, and ordinary Americans (and, especially, Russians) without special Permci did not leave the Disaster Cryca (this is 340 km from Livenguda, and Livengud himself is 114 km from Fairbanks), There are last 314 km to Dadhorsa were closed. These restrictions were associated with oil production in the Gulf of Pradhu Bay. However, fortunately, the situation has changed, and now we have not been forbidden to visit Deadhors.

Early in the morning of September 27, we moved in his direction. We drove along a chic High Wayam, smooth, with great markings, with a large number of "vanished" from the light of headlights of the signs of the reflectors. It is obvious that emergency situation On such roads may arise incomparably less frequently than in Russian. By the way, American drivers differ sharply from our discipline - few people violates the rules road. We, rewarding to good roads, unfortunately, could not contain ourselves and many times exceeded the speed limit of 65 miles (110 km) per hour. It was Saturday, and until the road was almost empty. Therefore, on one of its long desert segments, I managed to "squeeze" from the car speed of 100 miles (160 km) per hour. However, on the plot further Lovenguda, the road began to gradually deteriorate (the asphalt disappeared from it in the middle of the segment of Fairbanks-Livengud), and then became frankly bad (dirt appeared). According to the only bridge, the Yukon river crossed. And, after passing the day of 960 km (from those 1356, which separate Anchorage from Dadhors), spent in a small village of Kuldfut (Cold Noga). Here is a hotel room for two (in which we fit in threesome) cost 75 dollars.

After 70 miles after Kuldfut, the Atigun pass was the height of about 1.5 km. Snow lay on it (and the road was covered with a thick layer of dirt). Immediately before the pass, we stopped us in a construction helmet and warned that we were very attentive (due to snow and poor visibility on the pass). For the Atigoon, the road was covered with ice crust. Machine Zabuxal. I had to work pretty, pushing it. And yet at 12.30 we found themselves in Dadhors. We refrained by gasoline (on the 251-world plot between Kuldfut and Dadhors refueling; this distance just corresponded to the fifty liters of gasoline, which were accompanied by the gas tank of our car) and at the Pradhu Bay Hotel, the "Buffet" was held here - here buffet dollars per person. At 14 o'clock went on the way back.

Here you need to make a slight retreat. On the first day of the path (to Kuldfuta), I was alternately and Boris. On the second day, the steering wheel of Volodya and successfully brought the car to Dadhors. However, he led "Volvo" very carefully, and the speed of movement was small. Therefore, to go faster, Boris changed him in Dadhors (a man with a forty-haired driving experience). Unfortunately, an increase

Insurance.

It is not worth saving on this! Find information on insurance that may be needed while traveling. Note that in each state its own rules. Somewhere insurance will have to buy upon arrival, and somewhere you can defeat it in advance, right from the house.

Vaccinations.

Make all the necessary vaccinations and go through a medical examination once again to make sure that your health will not let you down.

Learn how to call for help (you never know what).

The car may not behave unpredictably, and in the journey it will not have to go through the metropolis and crowded places. Any breakdown will not only spoil the impression, but also will prevent your further movement. Write out all the numbers of exit technoles, tow truck and ambulance in the area, depending on your route.

Before leaving, go through the list.

Five times. Better - ten.

Arrange a party that no one will forget.

Leaving, slamming the door loudly! Remember: It is important not only the journey, but also the faults in it. As you know how to meet an adventure, so you will spend it.
